Lighting Strikes!
The P-38 Lightning was developed by Lockheed in response to a 1937 proposal from the United States Army Air Corps. Its twin V12 engines were housed one each in twin booms that stretched back to the tailplane, flanking a central nacelle containing the cockpit and weaponry. A combination of superb range, firepower and carrying capacity ensured that the P-38 was a superior fighter-bomber, and it made a considerable impact after joining fighting in Europe in 1942. It was also active in the Pacific War from late that year, its escapades including the shooting down of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto in 1943 that provided a significant morale boost for the Allied cause.

About the Model
★This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 240mm, width: 330mm. ★Exhaustive studies of actual P-38 aircraft enabled this precise recreation of the distinctive twin boom aircraft form, with particular highlights being early model slimline engine cowlings, wing shape and rounded canopy design. ★Integrated landing gear bay and wing spar parts ensure sturdy assembly and accurate recreation of angle. ★Choose between P-38F and P-38G canopy designs, with each able to be assembled open or closed. ★The detailed cockpit features recreations of the control wheel, bulletproof glass plate, rear-mounted radio equipment and more. ★One-piece tailplane horizontal stabilizer slides on and is secured by rudder components. ★Metallic finish decals are used on main and nose landing gear strut cylinders. ★The nose has depictions of four 12.7mm machine guns and the 20mm cannon. ★Weights are included to ensure correct balance of the model when on display. ★Comes with a seated pilot figure, two marking options and an informative background information leaflet in four languages.

This view shows off the unmistakable Lightning form, with twin booms flanking a central nacelle, and leading back to the large tailplane.

Here is the cockpit area for a P-38G: note the rearward-opening center canopy. Instrumentation and sights also differ between P-38F and G aircraft.

The highly realistic pilot figure was created using the latest 3D scanning techniques, and seating it in the cockpit will add plenty of extra realism.

Take a closer look at the detailed finish on the turbochargers. The kit includes two types of cowling parts for attachment in front.

Parts are included for 150- and 300-gallon drop tanks. P-38Gs in Operation Vengeance carried one of each, and can be recreated.

The slimline engine cowlings are captured with aplomb. Special decals are used to recreate the mirror sections on the inner faces.

Landing gear sections feature a sturdy design, with plenty of detail to admire on the depictions of their interior workings.
